ccan thiis be used in brackish water?

Brackish water is part salt water and fresh water. Be certain to rinse the motor off after each use. Salt is extremely corrosive and will reduce the overall life of the motor over time. However, a fresh water rinse after using will extend it's life considerably, especially if you raise the motor head out of the water when the boat is not in use.

This pump can be used in fresh or saltwater. I currently use it in saltwater.

It should be okay in fresh water, though I'm curious why you'd want to do this. I wouldn't submerge this in a brackish or salt water aquarium.It is made of chrome/nickel (not sure which) plated brass and should hold up well against corrosion, in theory. However, I think that in most situations it would be a lot more convenient if left in an accessible spot outside of the tank.

That is exactly what I did, and it works just fine. I spoke with an employee at the pool store and he said there should be some chlorine in the pool. The system will maintain levels. So far I have been quite happy with system. Make sure you buy a water conditioner, so calcium doesn't build up so fast on the salt cell.

Yes, it can be used with a salt system. In fact it complements each other. The minerals help by stabilizing the water and having less of a demand on the chlorine generator.

I don't know the answer to that. We have only used them in chlorinated pools.

Is very good for salt water this product, recomend I have one and ago a exelent job.

I'm not sure for certain; however, this is an ALL PLASTIC item so the temperature alone would probably damage it. I would think the salt water application would be okay, assuming you flushed it with fresh water after use. I think you're going to need a more expensive "all brass" water meter for your particular application.

Yes you can, they're water proff up to 15m, I have used them when I use my seadoos.

I believe the intended use is for water. You should probably contact the manufacturer or seller with your question.

I have never tried that. If it is not salt water, I would guess there would be no problem. AA batteries are sealed, so water might get into the pump motor, but most of those are designed to run wet. Please understand, this is only my guess...I have no firm technical knowledge about it.

It will work great if the water is properly chlorinated...you don't need to change the water....

Yes, I have Hundreds of Mollies which are of course brackish. I breed them and they do wonderful with the fuji sand and they are doing better than ever with the CaribSea.I use it for saltwater and freshwater tanks.I have used it for years.I recommend it Over any kind gravel anyday and when you open the bag there is a small packet that clears the new sand very quickly.If you need anything else dont hesitate to ask.Of course I would wait to start your filters until the majority of the sand has settled,Then you can add your fish immediately after the sand settles.

You could use it in freshwater. The 5cs model is smaller more practical for heavy freshwater usage.

Yes. These can be used in saltwater pools, for a consistent reading on cyanuric acid, the ph and total alkalinity must be within range though

Yes you can add chemicals. The saltwater system converts the salt to chlorine so you would need some sort of chlorine tablets plus algaecide since your system is broke.

Sorry. The only thing that I know of that Might work would be to distill the water and try to get rid of the contaminants afterward. The filter system that seems to filter the best, and remove the most hazards is the Berkey filters. Suggest that you research them. I spent days........,,, looking for something thy would remove salt and biochemical contaminants. There is not one that I could find. I was very impressed with the Berkey, and for a lightweight purifier, I really do like the LifeStraw. It will do more than most of the very small filters. Be sure to get this one, and not the green camoflage one that lets 2 micron particles through. That one seems to be mostly for looks. Hope this helps.
